AuthorTopic: Problem with touchpad and VL 7 (Read 5052 times)

I just installed VL 7 on my notebook (HP 550). I love the look and feel!However, I have a problem with my touchpad.First of all the wheel doesn't work. The area where the mouse wheel should be is behaving just like the rest of the touchpad.The second is a problem with the behavior when I'm tapping the touchpad. It is reacting so I can open programs or do similar things, but if I want to hold down the "mouse button" it will not work. It is like I just push a mouse button once and release it immediately. So I can't move the scroll bar in firefox by holding down the "mouse button" (tapping the touchpad and holding it), just for an example.

Does someone know a solution for these problems? I really want to keep VL 7 on my notebook but the problem with the touchpad gets annoying.By the way, while the installation/configuration I was asked if I want to use the touchpad driver and I said yes. I also already tried to reconfigure the mouse with VASM, no success so far. It would be really great if someone could tell me a solution for the problems...

I am no help. Sorry. Except I will note that on my samsung laptop I have similar problems. So I will watch this thread with care. I have tried to turn off tapping for months, with no success. So eventually I disabled the touchpad in bios and just carry a wireless mouse with me. Has to do with synaptic this or synaptic that.

I hope you have better luck than I. My last computer was an HP and eventually I got the touchpad working on VL 6.

That helped, thanks a lot. Now the mouse wheel works like it should. However, it feels like my mouse became slower/less responsive now, especially when I move it up and down (but not from side to side). It feels like it has a little delay... maybe I can do something in the settings.
